Major: Culinary Arts


Standing on your feet for long hours in a hot kitchen is not for everyone. But if your passion for food runs deep, becoming a chef offers some of the most unique rewards of any profession.
As a culinary arts major, you’ll practice the arts that keep customers coming back for more. But you’ll learn more than how to sizzle a steak or balance colors and textures on a plate. You’ll also learn the ins and outs of running a kitchen, from keeping it sanitary to training assistants.
